Abstract

A sum current transformer that acts on a protective switch via an amplifier has a core of a solid metallic material composed of an alloy having more than 40% nickel, so that it can be implemented mechanically solid even given small dimensions. The temperature dependency of the arrangement caused by the ohmic resistance of the winding is compensated by the diminishing eddy currents in the core given increasing temperature, so that the smallest dimensions can be realized for the aggregate current transformer.
